    The beautiful wooden architecture houses an incredible collection of traditional medicine artifacts. The interactive demonstrations of ancient pharmaceutical techniques were particularly engaging. A unique glimpse into Vietnam's medical heritage.

    Interesting museum, but it is a little dated and rundown. You only need an hour to get round really and get a good idea of the exhibitions and flavour of the development of the city and South Vietnam. Annoyingly, there were so many wedding couples taking pictures disrupting access to rooms and being inconsiderate to the public customer, despite this being a museum. Worth a visit if you have a bit of spare time but wouldn’t be top of the things to see or do personally. The War Remnants museum however is much more telling and definitely recommend visiting there.

    you can observe some ao dai exhibits on bitexco financial tower observation deck

    but if you would like to see the full display in a countryside setting, then ao dai museum is the place to go. it is about 60 min outside of hcmc, or 250,000-300,000 VND by Grab ride. it will be much cheaper to come by bus but it will take 90 min or more for the ride.

    proper visit on site will take about 60-90 min.

    entry fee is 50,000 VND

    After I left the shop and thought about the few hours I spent there I think the experience started the moment I entered the street the business is located. Coming off a busy vehicle strewn road the deadend street itself is light filled and clean, flanked by a mix of well kept multi storey residential and commercial older style buildings presenting a lovely chilled scene. The shop itself is well decorated, crossing a green threshold you are greeted with a relaxing atmosphere featuring walls lined with bottles of rice spirit infused with fruit and herbs and jars of coffee and tea.

    The staff are friendly and have a really sound knowledge of what they were offering. If you want to try the spirits you can either choose from the suggestions on the menu or make it up yourself adding a bit of this and that, the number of variations would run into the hundreds and all for the same price of D29,000 per cup (about the same size as a sāke cup). The drinks themselves were different and not the type of thing you just throw back, more something you sip away at. The shop does serve food after 6pm (on the day I was there), had the green paypaya salad with chicken which was tastful and refreshing. Products can be purchased to take away and having brought some Robusta coffee beans roasted with butter I left thinking I will have to come back.

    The exhibition is easy to locate in District 1, I visited here and was very impressed
    A beautiful place with many special artworks and extremely friendly staff, Sann The House Of Ar is not only a place to showcase the artistic works of artists, but it is also a journey to explore the quintessence of contemporary painting in combination with the traditional handicraft village of Vietnam.
    Sann's great creativity and love for their homeland has left me with a lot of emotions Thanks to Sann for helping me understand more about the unique cultural heritage values of Vietnam.

    Oddball place that is a throwback to the Communist era. Entry is free.

    The gardens have a few tatty aircraft surrounded by bonsai and plants with labels telling you of the heroic deeds against the oppressors, go into the building and see two floors of pictures of heroic pilots, sadly only captioned in Vietnamese, strange but an interesting hour if you are close.
